i just said it's good, not that it's good because it's old, pull your tongue out of the light socket dude. era had Johnny Cash, Elvis, Chuck Berry, etc.
a lot of the stuff i like is because i think it does melodically-driven pop music in such a sincere way that it straddles an almost creepy line. stuff like Johnny Mathis' "Wonderful, Wonderful", Dion's "The Wanderer" i think really exemplifies this vibe for me. as i'm writing this i'm realizing a lot of it does bleed into the early 60's, like Roy Orbison for example, but the 57-63 era was imo great for straight-up pop and girl group. If you wanna check it out there's a great box set called "Girl Group Sounds" that captures a lot of what's great about that period. A lot of the pop country of the time like Patsy Cline really evokes that for me too, so maybe check that out if any of this grabs you at all (which, if it doesn't, stop listening; it all sounds pretty much the same).

don't know enough pretty much about the 20's - 50's. not satisfied with my grip on the 70s-80s either but i like listening to rock'n roll albums from the 50s like fats domino jerry lee lewis little richard and chuck berry and girl groups from the 50s but dont know much about it as a whole i just listen to records i find from the era of course i love gershwin and ella fitzgerald iunno its spotty like i haven't lived it you know like its easy to live in the 60s and 70s for a while i think

unironically good post user.
there's a program on my local college radio i've listened to for years that does 40's-50's pop and rock and i almost always enjoy it.
it's weird, i'm usually into much more louder intense music, but as a drummer the old pop, blues, and especially r&b drummers are top tier in their feel.
Matthew Price
I'm not that guy but the Tin Pan Alley era is one of the greatest iterations of American pop music, rivaling the 60's. Billy Murray, Arthur Collins, Ruth Etting are great as well as early crooners like Gene Austin.
Anthony Foster
Meghan Trainor
William Hernandez

That's the thing--plenty of those guys were loud and intense, but the recording technology of the time couldn't capture it. Big band recordings would require the drummer to play on wooden blocks because it wasn't possible to record drums in the 78 era.
Thomas Powell
Lots of really bland "great American songbook" pop standards that all use the same 5 chords.
Also "crooners".
